One thing wives like is to be tricked.
For instance, I was going to take my wife to the south of France, but instead I drove her to an old burned-out warehouse.
“Oh, no,” I said. “Marseille burned down.”
She cried and cried, but I think that deep down, she thought it was a pretty good joke.
I started to drive over to the real Marseille, but it ACTUALLY DID BURN DOWN.

The Independent · Marseille wildfire latest: Huge blaze rages on edge of French city and shuts airportBy Daniel Keane

People say things like "enjoy the rest of *your* day" as if you have a different day "have *a* nice day" as if there are more than one day you could have.

We are all on the same rotating planet, chained to the same arrow of causality; we all experience the same inevitable day.

Enjoy *this* day!

I think I'm old enough and wise enough to admit that maybe I just don't like #Artichokes.

Definitely don't like preparing them.

Pretty sure I rarely like eating them, which sometimes feels like just as much as work as preparing them.

Simmered for a long time in something that renders them near undetectable? Sure, fine.

Otherwise -- I think I'll just skip them.

Is is about the rock? Is the thing itself not sufficient to trigger a certain wariness?

Perhaps that is an overly literal interpretation. Behind me is a parked minivan. A hard place, as it were. This text helps me situate myself as being between a rock and a hard place.

Or perhaps it has nothing to do with the rock, and it simplify encapsulates the zeitgiest. Caution, plague. Caution, fascism. Caution, consumerism. Caution, climate change.

I don't look like much. Largely, I look like too much, actually--I have a weight issue. But I have this theory that my most long-term relationship lasted as long as it did because my love-language is touch and I'm physically addictive.

I've thought a lot about this recently, and I think a physical relationship with me likely isn't very appealing from the outside, but in a relationship I'm probably habit-forming.

OK, so that's a weird thing to think about, but whatever.

🌍 The venerable Noam Chomsky, renowned for his linguistic genius, has now graced us with his deep thoughts on AI 🤖—that it is, in fact, transforming every walk of life. What profound insight! 😏 Perhaps next he'll reveal that water is, indeed, wet. 💧
